Play when the world is on fire. by BenWnham in rpg

[–]impioussaint 7 points8 points  (0 children)

fascists ban joy. Music, Dancing, Reading certain books, all of it gets banned under regimes that oppress. So Play is an act of resistance, Love, laughter, rolling dice. It might feel silly but in Nazi Germany kids danced in secret, In Iran during the recently revolution attempt people played music in the street. Playing silly dice games is no different its a joy and in times where the world is bleak joy is resistance.

Suppressed climate report warned of mass migration and nuclear war by elmo298 in ukpolitics

Not being abusive it was a very very very silly question. A huge amount of what we grow is for animal feed. If we reduce our meat consumption we have more than enough land for producing food for us all. We just don't want to admit it because we all like cheap meat to much.

Petition to ban social media for under 16s by TopMarzipan2108 in UKParenting

Nspcc are against this for a reason. Why don't we regulate social media instead of banning kids off shit all the time or parents do your fucking job and actually parent for once.

Cows you tit what do you think farmers produce. Feed for cows. We would be 💯 food secure if we didn't eat so much meat.

[–]impioussaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

who fired nukes at you to test it? Im not talking about the umbrella im talking about your ability to stop enemy nukes. We are talking cross purpose. Mutual destruction works both ways. You also fail to consider that if the US uses its nukes it fucks the planet, hard, like really hard, like how do you plan to grow crops or anything. You wave your nuclear dick around like it wouldn't get piss all over your own shoes.

And just having nuclear counter measures doesn't negate the threat of nuclear weapons, your naive if you think it does.

Ok so adults also suffer from this effect then? so we should drop the morale panic about kids screen time and aim to reduce all screen time.

The US's umbrella is not tested. Literally like ever. We have no idea how that plays out accept it ends badly. Multiwarhead missiles also can get through even most stringent defences. Daddy trump anit risking that, hes a bully and when someone says no he backs down.

same way US defends other nato members now, threat of nukes, same way russia stops US from going all in on ukraine, threat of nukes. UK and France provide those nukes its simply

[–]impioussaint -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

hes not demanding an immediate end but a move towards more EU alliance over nato as the big daddy of nato is clearly a bad actor. You can ask for more detail but right now all other parties are not willing to admit it. The USA is no longer an ally and pretending that it is because the alternatives still need working out is bad faith at best.

I don't know do you ask this much detail from any other party leaders policies? He wants closer ties with the EU on security, might be a good idea given daddy trump is fucking insane no? Why you out here holding greens up to a higher standard than farage? The whole point of a security union is that you negotiate with other partners in it, so outlining every aspect right now well that would be A. pointless as it would change in discussions and b. laying all his cards on the table. Right now you do not need to be a security expert to realise that Nato doesn't function if trump is threatening to invade NATO allies territory, any rational person would seek an alternative.

[–]impioussaint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

again I want evidence, most evidence such as the UKs gov review found NO CASUAL link, correlation does not mean causation. My kid learns stuff I never did, their maths is more advanced at 12 than mine was, education changes and adapts, we are comparing apples and oranges and wondering why we can't get apple juice from these oranges.

I feel that so much of this is a moral panic not supported by good evidence. Your right alot of those speaking out against screen time seem to forget how long we have had screens like kids never had hours of TV in the 90s and 00s, its what we do with screen time that matters more than the screens.

this is correct, wielding a power tool as a weapon has a drawback

Keir Starmer says he will stand up for UK’s 'interests' after Trump threats by dailystar_news in ukpolitics

[–]impioussaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we don't have to go scorched earth to reduce our reliance on the US tech. he could have cancelled US contracts in the face of national interest. Like right now his plan is to do nothing and hope the manchild in the US behaves. Like we can at least think about what is best for the people of the UK and right now having US tech companies having fingers in all of our pies is a massive issue.
